Well this past Saturday, I finally received my book in the mail from her {woohoo - thank you so much Rachel!}

Then another little treasure arrived in the mail that day as well ~ it was the August issue of Jeanne d'Arc Living Magazine that I ordered from Tracey @French Larkspur.

So needless to say I was a very Happy Camper! :)

I always love the way Tracey packages her items! She is my favorite "go to gal" when ordering my JDL Mag! :) She is always so prompt & friendly whenever I order items from her site - I just LOVE her!

As I was thumbing through all the pages, I couldn't help but get excited at all the gorgeous inspirations that I just had to share a few images from the book and mag with you all! ;)

Let's start with the new book "Vintage By Nina" by Nina Hartmann:

This is one of my favorite pics in the book ~ I have those same exact stools in my kitchen Breakfast Bar area, except they are a lighter shade of grey.

I love mixing rustic with elegance, and that chandelier in this industrial mix really ties it in!

Oh and this Tolix chair in that lovely lavender shade with all that patina {LOVE}!

I have a thing for Tolix {and tolix-inspired} chairs, as you'll one day see whenever I get my dining room ready to reveal to you all! ;)

ahh...Mirrors. One can never get enough of antique mirrors, at least not me! ;)

Old ballerina shoes & tutus...

There is something about them that catches my attention...perhaps the story they tell about who once wore & loved them is what interests me the most.

And the most pleasant surprise upon receiving this book, was that Miss Nina Hartmann herself signed it!

The book truly is a joy and inspiration for sure!!!

Next up is the August issue of Jeanne d'Arc Living Magazine!

Such a pretty issue filled with lovely eye candy! I don't know how many times I've seen Maria's house from Dreamy Whites, but no matter what - I can never tire of her images! Here are a few from the latest issue.

You lucky girl you! Nina's book is beautiful, I had the chance to look through the pages recently when I was at a show that Atelier de Campagne was at. Oh how I wanted to buy it! Perhaps I will ask for it for Christmas. Enjoy your week, Marcia

GREETINGS & WELCOME!

Admirer of all things vintage & worn. Love the way an old piece tells a story, giving us a glimpse of its past life through its beautiful patina. Just a wife & mum fixing up a half a century year old {plus} home in Southern Cali, while juggling everything else in between. Join me as I bake, create, paint, decorate, craft, redo, repurpose, renovate, renew, salvage & turn our house into a home - one vintage piece at a time. :) Thank you for stopping by!
